We have actually just finished up on our series titled Life Choices, which is based off of the movie: To Save A Life, produced by Samuel Goldwyn Films (2010), in which we discussed some interesting issues. Such as God, family, friends, sex and dating.
A new series has not begun just yet but we did, instead, have a group conversation last week on the topic of sharing our faith with those around us. Gushing it, really. We talked about how we, as Christians, should be excited to tell others what God has done for us, and is currently doing for us. It's called a Testimony, just like when you're in court.
They want to know what you saw, heard, felt, experienced and witnessed.
That is your Testimony.
Likewise, we tell others:
1) What our life was like before we came to Christ
2) How we came to Him, and
3) How we have changed for the better BECAUSE we came to Him
That is our mission: To boldly share the truth with others.
And not just sharing it, but GUSHING it to everyone that we come in contact with!
To give us a better mental picture of what this might look like, we wrapped up the night with a game I like to call "God Gushers". And in this game, we placed a Alka-Seltzer tab on our tongues and held it with a mouthful of Sprite for as long as we possibly could. (Which really wasn't for very long) ...and of course, as one might imagine, you eventually gush. Foam and Sprite go everywhere! That's how we should be with God.
We should be "spewing" him EVERYWHERE and to EVERYONE!
No shame in the gushing game. :)
*NOTE: I hope to be uploading videos of this game very soon.
